Silicone implants are as safe with a kidney transplant as without. Your peri-operative care may be affected by immunosuppressive medication. Hemostasis (blood clotting) and wound healing may be impaired, depending on what you are taking, your kidney function, and any other co-existing medical issues. The type of mastectomy is germane. Preparation for your procedure should be arranged with your surgeon(s) and nephrologist communicating with one another. Diligent post-operative follow up will be important to detect and manage any problems in a timely manner.
